I have read online about bad side effects from fin. Are they true? Should I see a dermatologist?

Whats the best way to watch for hair recession? Is measuring from each temple to the eyebrow every month good?

The picture of you as a boy shows a missing temple point, meaning the temple triangles below the hairline, what you have now is temple recession most likely brought on by MPB, I would suggest getting on finasteride and minoxidil to prevent further hair loss, and I don’t think getting surgery is necessary at this point.

 

I do however think your hairstyle needs to change, don’t take this the wrong way, but there is absolutely NO reason you should be wearing a Donald trump style comb over, you have plenty of hair, do a faux hawk with a quiff, this will hide the temples, or do a modern quiff with the hair at the temples pushed forward, lastly, just own it, you can still look good even with some temple recession so long as your hair style is nice and fits your face, remember it’s all about framing, keep the fade high and tight to keep your facial proportions, what’s killing you is that hairstyle not the temple recession.

 

Some examples of what I’m talking about

First the faux hawk with a quiff, the hair is pushed forward and slightly up in the front, this will make the hairline look lower and hide the temples on the corners.

 

Second is more of a quiff with the hair on the sides pushed forward hiding the temples

 

Third is more of a slicked back pompadour totally owning the temple recession, looks good high and tight short in the sides.

I went with the second style. It looks much better, thank you.

I think I will just watch for any more recession for a few years and then find a good FUE doctor.

I like the third hair style but my hairline is much worse, not sure if I can pull it off. How bad is mine on the norwood scale?

My Dad had most of his hair in his 40s and started thinning in his 50s.

Would I need finasteride and minoxidil? I have been monitoring my hairline since I was 18 and noticed no change.

I'm 21 years old.

The first pic is when I was 7 years old.

Second is how I style my hair to hide my temple regions.

Third is left temple.

Fourth is right temple.

Fifth is a top view.

I never noticed this issue until I got a short hair cut in senior year of high school and people started commenting about my "receding hairline" or "old man haircut".

Now I am almost done with college and I can't keep having a "boy" haircut to hide this issue. What can I do to fix it?
